One of the things Apple’s iPhone 6 Plus and iPhone 6S Plus are popular for are their battery life, but on the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6S, battery endurance is sadly not a bullet point on the list of pros. The Cupertino giant is no doubt aware that its 4.7-inch iPhones aren’t as long-lasting as their Plus counterparts, so it has made its debut in the smartphone battery pack market with an official battery case for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6S.

Apple is calling it the Smart Battery Case, and is touting an additional 18 hours of web browsing on an LTE connection, 20 hours of video playback, and up to 25 hours of talk time. The case – rated at 1,877 mAh – is charged with the company’s proprietary Lightning cable, and once connected to an iPhone, the battery level of the case and the phone itself will be visible in the phone’s notifications center. If both the battery case and iPhone are at 100 percent battery level, the former’s battery will be depleted before the phone switches to the internal battery.
The Smart Battery Case will be available in charcoal and white for USD99.
